Odd Little Update

Hi, All,

I've not been around (all my posted cards were scheduled months ago) and may put my blog to bed soon. I don't have any new content scheduled after March 7 and probably will not have any new content because I just haven't felt like creating anything with my hands. In September Gigi watched one of her dance coaches sustain a violent (and fatal) brain injury during their practice for the homecoming parade. My father died in October and my father-in-law died last month. I suspect these events (along with some other ones) have had a lot to do with my general sense of apathy for cardmaking.

I apologize for not responding to comments in a more timely fashion. Thank you for the support over the years and I wish all of you nothing but the best!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Taking care of yourself is most important. Once it seems right you may want to take up card making again or you may want to do something else. I had a several year break when life things needed to be taken care of and although I will miss your blog, if you need to take care of yourself and your family that is most important. Prayers and good thoughts for you and yours.

I'm really sorry to hear about your sad losses and understand completely why you need to take the time to heal and refresh. Crafting should be a pleasure, not a chore, and I think we've all had those times when we have an empty tank. I'll look forward to anything you want to share if you are so inspired, but commend you for putting your energies where they are needed right now. Hugs to you.
